Advanced Accu-SPINA® IDD Therapy
We utilize the state-of-the-art Accu-SPINA® IDD Therapy system for our spinal decompression treatments. This advanced technology represents the latest innovation in non-surgical disc treatment, backed by extensive clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness in treating disc-related conditions.
The Accu-SPINA system uses Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy to provide precise, computer-controlled decompression that is gentle yet highly effective.
How It Works
We’ll begin with a full consultation and examination, including X-rays and nervous system scans. If Dr. Puckett believes that spinal decompression will benefit you, she’ll incorporate it in your care.
You’ll lie face-up on the special computerized Accu-SPINA table (fully clothed). You’ll be strapped to the table at the hips and torso. Then the table will begin to gently stretch your spine, stretching and releasing repeatedly over the course of your therapy. Sessions last between ten and twenty minutes, depending on your specific situation.
As your spine is stretched, it creates space between the vertebrae, taking pressure off of the discs that act as cushions and shock absorbers for the spinal joints. When this compression is relieved over time, the discs may be able to move back into their proper position so they don’t press on the nerves, helping alleviate pain and restore proper function.
The process is safe and painless. The amount of stretch is determined by your specific situation, including your weight. Although the stretch is pleasant and painless, we always want you to feel safe and in control, so you will be given a switch so you can stop the table at any time if you feel unsure.
